which is the most spoken language in the world?

Chinese (Mandarin) is the world most spoken language. There are about 1,213,000,000 active speakers. One of the obvious reason for this, China is the most populated country on the planet. But don’t think that Mandarin is an easy language to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be hard because each word can be pronounced in several tones, and a beginner will not distinguish one tone from another. Anyway, near a billion people do.
